"often i have heard people
say, "how good God is! we prayed that it would not rain for our church
picnic, and look at the lovely weather!" yes, God is good when He sends
good weather. but God was also good when He allowed my sister, betsie, to starve
to death before my eyes in a german concentration camp. i remember one occasion
when i was very discouraged there. everything around us was dark, and there was
darkness in my heart. i remember telling betsie that i thought God had
forgotten us. "no, corrie," said betsie, "He has not forgotten
us. remember His Word: "for as the heavens are high above the earth, so
great is His steadfast love toward those who fear Him." there is an ocean of God's love available - there is plenty for everyone. may God grant you never to doubt that victorious love - whatever the
circumstances."
